The disclosure now includes the Group’s Indian operation for the first time, alongside plants in Zhongshan, China, and operations in the United States.

Governance and risk management • The Board retains ultimate ESG responsibility, supported by a cross-functional ESG team that collects data and drives implementation. • Climate-related physical and transition risks have been mapped; scenario analysis referencing IPCC RCP 2.6 and 8.5 pathways is in place. • Key risk areas span climate change, environmental management, waste handling, health and safety, supply-chain diligence and product quality. No material non-compliance with environmental or social regulations was identified during the year.

Environmental metrics • Total greenhouse-gas emissions rose 113.52% year-on-year to 5,146.76 tCO₂e, largely due to the expanded consolidation scope; purchased electricity (Scope 2) accounted for 99.15% of the total. • Energy consumption reached 7,756.89 MWh; solar panels installed in the US and India generated 0.25 MWh. • Water use was 10,167.78 m³, up 64.13% after higher production volumes. • Hazardous waste fell 86.62% to 0.51 t following process optimisation; non-hazardous waste was 44.40 t. • No product recalls occurred for health or safety reasons.

Social indicators • Headcount stood at 636, down from 717 the prior year; 53% were male. • Group turnover rate was 22.76% in manufacturing operations and 25.00% in distribution. • 98.27% of employees received training, averaging 2.62 hours each. • Zero work-related fatalities or injuries were recorded; 88 staff participated in health-and-safety drills.

Supply chain and product responsibility • SANDMARTIN engaged 265 suppliers across mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Vietnam and the US, all required to sign business-ethics and social-responsibility undertakings. • A conflict-minerals compliance plan is in force, and quality management systems at all plants are certified to ISO 9001. • Customer complaints totalled 41, mainly related to service terms; all were resolved within the year.

Forward actions • The Group will expand ESG disclosure breadth, strengthen climate-risk management and set medium- to long-term sustainability targets. • Board-level climate training and supplier engagement on environmental and social standards will continue.
